Bottle and board special. They gave us veggies since we don't eat meats.
Shakira M.

What a cute space with some amazing views! This space is quite small and intimate so I would highly suggest making a reservation. We didn't realize that they offer happy hour everyday 3pm-6pm and took advantage of that! We went on a Saturday around 4:30 and dined on the outdoor patio. Our server, Caris, was attentive and amazing. She recommended the bottle and board special which was beautifully served and included house wine or sangria, we opted for the blushing sangria which was tasty! I also enjoyed the Desert Daze which was delicious. It tasted like juice lol. We finished it off with a lemon merengue pie. Anyhoo, we can't wait to come back to this place for the fall to enjoy the outdoors by a fire pit and watch the sunset!

I was in town visiting a friend for the weekend and she recommended Ravens View for their awesome happy hour. We went around 4:30 pm and there were plenty of tables available. The menu wasn't super large but prices were great. We shared a meat & cheese plate, stuffed mushrooms and some sangria. It was all delicious and a great way to start our night. They also have an incredible view too.

Views from the parking lot

We had a fantastic time at Ravens View. I wish we would have eaten in the patio though. The inside was fine but obviously we didn't get the views. Which in the high desert in the evening would have been beautiful. The food was pretty good. I don't think we had anything that was to die for but we really enjoyed our meal. We had the queso to start and it was delicious but we both wished it was a little spicier, hubby had the Panino and enjoyed it and I enjoyed the beefcake burratta salad (capresé salad) it was fresh a delicious although I would have liked it with a little more balsamic. Our server was very sweet and quick to respond. Overall it was a great date night and I've already mentioned it to my mom that her and her golf group would enjoy it as well after a round. They also had live music on the patio the night we went. I recommend checking it out.

Great date night spot, so come for the sunset and mountain backdrop, and definitely make sure to sit outside. They have warmers and blankets to keep you toasty on cool nights. The menu is limited, but the food was tasty. The French onion soup appears to be a popular item. Service was friendly and prompt.

This place is a bit of drive but it does have magnificent views of gulf course and mountains. There is plenty of parking and the patio is pet friendly. The menu is very limited and the food did come out later than anticipated. The staff are quite friendly and the overall atmosphere is nice. They do not serve hard liquor but have an extensive list of wines and beer.

Thai Salad with Ahi Tuna
Debbi P.

This small cosy restaurant is most definitely a hidden gem!!!!!! Nestled in the mountains of Old Cave Creek, near fabulous hiking trails and magnificent views of the Tonto National Forest, this place cannot be missed!!! Happy Hour, a full menu and great drinks, there is so much to choose from!!! Whether you order soups, salads, sandwiches or boards, and so much more, my go-to favorite is ALWAYS the CUBANO!!! The best!!! The service is always great and you can sit inside or out on the patio. Definitely choose outside, with headlamps and blankets if needed, you do not want to miss the beautiful mountain views!!!!!

The white house made Sangria is my favorite!

One of my favorite spots in Arizona! The views are spectacular, the food is fresh, beautifully presented and a great value, and I love the friendly staff. A big bonus is the live music they often have - Krystal Waters is so talented, and made our evening even more special. Reservations are recommended so you can get a table with a view, and happy hour is a great value with lots of options!

Cool light fixture above the bar area

What a cool place to happen upon. Derek Y. and myself had just finished a hike to Camp Creek Falls nearby. We were leaving the cave creek area and drove by what looked like a well lit home in the middle of the desert. Turns out it was Raven's View wine bar. Just from the look of it from the road I was pumped to check it out. It's a small place that is comfortable and well decorated. They have wine, beer, and cocktails on the menu. They also have food. We already had dinner plans so we decided to try an appetizer, we had the tuna tartar. It was good, a little too much of the sauce made it overly salty, however the fish tasted fresh. The bartender was friendly and service was quick. It seems like a regular place for people in the cave creek area, as the bartender knew many of the people there. Very nice ambiance and wine selection. I did notice they don't have any local wines from AZ, many of them are coming from Napa and surrounding wine areas. However, I love California wine so that was fine by me. Great wine choices. I had a nice Pinot Noir from a winery in the Russian River area. That area has excellent wineries and breweries. Overall, nice time and I'll definitely go back next time I'm out that way.

white bean hummus

Had a nice experience! Met a friend there for lunch and she was running quite late, but staff was really nice and accommodating. We sat outside on the patio which is really pleasant. I ordered white bean hummus while I was waiting, and it was delicious. But be aware that it has a lot of oil on it (the hummus forms a volcano and it is filled with oil!) If I had known I would have told them to hold the oil. My friend had the pulled pork sandwich, and I had the stacked burrata and tomato salad, which is similar to a caprese.

Love this place! Beautiful view, nice ambience, indoor/outdoor seating and pup friendly. Lots of drinks and delicious food to choose from. Daily happy hour is the cherry on top!

She responds so quickly and always addressed every question, idea, etc I presented. I loved getting to work with Julia, she is such an asset at Keelers. I cannot say enough good things about her! Overall, we had a good experience. They were very nice to provide a vegan option for one of our guests. The food was hit and miss with some dishes (like the NY Strip) being great and others being not so good (like the Prime Rib (although it was massive in size!) and Salmon). Our server Maria was great! She had a full section on the patio and then us off in the private room and she did a great job providing us with good, quick service and we loved her banter as well. All the staff we interacted with were really nice. We enjoyed being in the private room and not having to worry about disrupting other dinners, but there were some quarks with the private room. Staff often came in to access some kind of storage room within the room, we would have loved the ability to control the music ourselves, which was on when we arrived but stopped part way through out meal. The room is also separate from the rest of the restaurant, I assumed it would have been inside the same building but it is off the patio in it's own building and down a very steep ramp.

We didn't feel like eating steak so I ordered the burger and my BF ordered the prime rib dip. My burger was really good but the onion rings and fries were over fried or it just tasted old and dry. Also they take forever bring out drinks and food. We received our bill and my BF noticed that there was something on the receipt that didn't look familiar which was $60. The server charged a bottle of wine table next to ours on our tab. Probably won't be back, not the best experience and the server never really checks on you to see if you need anything, more like trying to get her attention.

I truly left this spot with mixed feelings…read more On the one hand, our servers were fabulous! They were dealing with a very large party (with a lot of confusion) behind us, so it was clear both the servers and kitchen staff were stretched thin. I'm not sure if it's a newer addition based on the reviews, but the spot is decorated beautifully. With decor, games, a solid color scheme and a variety of menu options, it's truly an inviting standout in Carefree! Our food was just fine (I think they're aiming for elevated bar food), and our drinks were alright. I'm not sure my smoked old fashioned was prepared correctly but it happens. However, for the experience I left feeling I'd severely overpaid. Additionally, the company was questionable. A gentleman walked around the venue with a dog and a frown, a man came in barefoot to pick up an order, and I witnessed a non employee (or off shift employee?) sneak behind the bar several times. There seems to be a speakeasy medspa behind a painting, but we didn't get the details. This spot has the potential to be a total standout! A mixologist with a solid craft cocktail menu and execution, a menu rethink, and maybe some event programming and this spot could certainly be a home run! If I revisit, I'd be beyond delighted to see they've grown into their potential! Best of luck to these folks!

A Shoutout to Cindy & a New Neighborhood Favorite!…read more We just got back from lunch at Tox Bar/Speedy Burger in Carefree, and what a treat it was! To our delight, Cindy--yes, the Cindy many of us have known and loved for years--was there bartending and serving with the same warm smile and stellar service she's always been known for. This time, though, she's doing it at a place that offers great food, a fun and cozy ambience, and a dog-friendly patio--a rare combo that's hard to beat. Let's face it: dining out isn't as affordable as it once was. But as I told Cindy, I don't mind paying for quality food and excellent service--and that's exactly what you'll get at Tox Bar/Speedy Burger. For years, we were loyal regulars at Brisam's, visiting twice a week. But over time, prices soared, food quality declined, and the atmosphere never improved. The space started to feel tired and neglected. Sadly, the lack of connection from ownership didn't help--unless you were a former mayor or someone "important," you likely didn't get a second glance. Let's be honest: Cindy carried Brisam's for 18 years. Her genuine care for customers was the reason many of us kept going back. Now that she's moved on, it's no surprise to see the shift. So here's my suggestion: support a place that supports its people and customers. Tox Bar/Speedy Burger is that place. Stop by on Sundays or Tuesdays this summer to see Cindy in action. Come fall, I predict it'll be wall-to-wall locals enjoying everything this gem has to offer. Let's spread the word and give our support where it's truly deserved.

For breakfast, I had the chocolate buckwheat porridge and a cappuccino. I wanted to try something new since I had never had buckwheat porridge before. I wouldn't recommend the porridge because it had a strong flavor from the buckwheat. I ended up asking for some extra coconut cream to put on it to enhance the flavor. My husband ordered the smoked salmon toast, which was excellent. I felt like the porridge and the cappuccino were both overpriced and could have been better. For lunch, I had the Buddha bowl, which was tasty, well balanced, and super healthy. For dinner, I had the salmon, which was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. I also appreciated the variety of non-alcoholic drink options. The service was excellent at each meal - the servers were knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance was nice too. I ended up eating outside at each meal to enjoy the view of the mountains in the distance. The inside of the restaurant looks nice, but seemed a little dark.

Honestly, the food was probably the part I disliked the most from the Civana resort for me. Terras…read morewas very underwhelming. It's mostly more on the healthy side which is understandable, but I think it should be more of a variety of different foods. I enjoyed the smashed avocado, salmon tacos, golden beet miso soup, and the grass fed filet mignon. I wasn't a fan of the charred octopus, roasted artichoke and the chicken tacos. The drinks were good I can at least say that! but If you're looking for something more fulfilling as far as food with more taste I would look outside the resort. The Pros were all the employees were very friendly and accommodating. The ambience was nice, and the restaurant itself was always clean.
